CHAPPELLET MOUTAIN CUVEE 750ML

Chappellet Mountain Cuvée is a rich, approachable Napa Valley red Bordeaux‑style blend from the family‑owned Chappellet Winery, crafted to deliver expressive fruit and structure with broader appeal than single‑varietal flagship bottlings.

Tasting Profile

This wine is typically built around Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Bordeaux varieties like Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc.

1. Aroma: Bright red cherry, blackberry, and cassis with spice notes such as clove, cedar, and subtle herb.
2. Palate: Medium‑to‑full body with juicy red and dark fruit, balanced acidity, and well‑integrated oak spice; tannins are structured yet approachable.
3. Finish: Smooth, lingering finish with hints of dark chocolate, tobacco, and savory herbs.

Style & Character

This Napa Bordeaux blend aims for fruit intensity and balance — enough structure for food pairing while still approachable when young. The hillside vineyards (often including mountain sites like Pritchard Hill) contribute freshness and complexity to the wine.

Food Pairing

Excellent with:

1. Grilled or roasted red meats
2. Lamb or beef stews
3. Hearty pastas with red sauce
4. Aged cheeses

The wine’s richness and balanced tannins make it versatile with bold flavors at the table.
